Hi all,
I'm trying to solve a bending situation. A square plate is placed b/w two other square plates. The two outside square plates have concentric annular protrusions, with one larger than the other. To simplify: think of a plate with a pipe on the top and a pipe on the bottom. The two pipes have different diameters. The bottom pipe could be thought of as a restraint, whereas the force is input through the top pipe.
Any reference I check for bending ony has beam bending. How do i go about trying to calculate bending stresses/deflections in the square plate?
TIA,
-Nick
